    Wow! Congratulations!!! A victory well deserved. I can't imagine a full today. Wonder when I'll get courageous enough to train. I ran my first half on Sunday too. It was not half as exciting as yours but we had fun! I run with a friend and we really enjoyed it. We are running a few more though before signing up for a full.

    Congratuations! I've done a number of trail halfs here in the PNW with roots, rocks, mud, and elevation and can appreciate how much harder they are than road races. I can't imagine a whole marathon. :drinker:

    Congrats! What a fantastic report! So happy for you that your 1st Marathon was a kickass toughest one.

    I have read your post in the past and did read your concerns/questions you put in here during the training.

    For me, it was wonderful re-collection of those old post of yours and then reading this report and putting everything together.

    Thanks for sharing. Great Job. High Five to you!

    This was no "walk in the park." Congratulations. Road course marathons are probably going to be pretty tame by Fairbanks standards.

    Just remember, in Alaska, the odds may be good, but the goods are usually odd.
